I think it's close to harvest time, and I don't know what I'm doing. Pictures and questions (And can you guys tell variety from my mixed bag?)
As the title states. I am worried about picking too early or too late. I am only going to be able to hang these in my garage or crawl space this year. I won't have time to build anything due to some family circumstances going on and I'm just going to have to hope for the best. I live in TN and we have gotten a lot of rain this summer. I am hoping that my crawl space under the house (which remains cool but humid) may suffice. Pictures don't seem to be working this morning, so I am just linking to imgur where I have them privately uploaded. If that is against the rules, I apologize.
So, some of my base leaves are yellowing, but also rotting. From what I have read, I think these are the 'mudders' that get dirty from watering, etc. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.
This is the most drastic yellowing I have seen. Some of my darker leaf plants seem to be getting lighter around the edges, but I don't think they are ready to harvest yet. I am pinching flowers off just about every day. I have worked really hard babying these plants this summer and I just want to get the next step (harvesting and curing) done correctly. I know that is also the hardest step.
I planted my seeds from a mixed back from sustainable seed. I did not plant all of them and gave the rest of them to a budy, so I don't have the list of potential variants in front of me, but I am working on getting them. This is all going to pipe tobacco. Does anyone have a ballpark idea of the types of tobacco I am growing from these pictures? I really appreciate any help. I tend to overthink and over plan, so when I get into not knowing what I am going to be doing, I get a bit overwhelmed.
